Brown Sugar Frosting

Substituting 1 cup mild molasses and 1 cup granulated sugar for 1 cup brown sugar will make this have a yummy caramel flavor too.

LOVED this easy recipe! After reading the other reviews, I decided to bring the mixture to a slow boil to see if I could get more of a caramel flavor. The flavor was great, but maybe a little too sweet to put on a sweet cookie, so next time I'll add some salt as well.

I substituted light molasses plus 1 teaspoon Watkins Carmel extract. It was delicious but I had a problem with it setting up too quickly. I couldn't get it spread out over the whole cake, any suggestions?

I loved it on the praline cookies!!!

Nice & simple as I like it...used molasses instead of corn syrup (didn't have), still good, richer flavor

The brown sugar frosting was very sweet, but it made a nice topping for the Cinnamon Butter Cookies (http://cookie.allrecipes.com/AZ/CinnmnBttrCkies.asp). I just dipped them into the frosting, let it set, and it turned out very, very good!

too hard to spread, pulls apart the cupcakes. tried adding water to thin it, doesn't taste the same.

Tastes like powdered sugar. I was looking for a more caramel taste. Even the addition of vanilla didn't help. Possibly a good glaze if you are looking to purely add sweetness.

Was great! Just like the one grandma used to make<3!

Easy recipe but does taste like confectioners sugar. Sets-up nicely.

I kept this warm on the stove instead of letting it cool and drizzled over slices of warm chocolate mayonaise cake. (Mayonnaise Cake II that I got from this site). I used light brown sugar instead of dark because it's all I had, and I thought it needed a little something else so I added a little honey, a pinch of ginger, and a little vanilla. It didn't harden keeping it on warm for those who wanted more and the whole family loved it.

Delicious! I used this for my sugar cookies. Very good!

I found this really rich and had too much of a fake maple syrup flavor for me. I used it on cookies that needed flavor. Might be better as a drizzle.

Easy but it was so thick it was hard to spread on the sugar cookies I made. I added a bit more water. Tasty though! I will try it again. Thanks Ingrid

This was great! Loved how easy it was. Used a corn syrup substitute of 1/4 cup water to 1 cup sugar. Perfect!
